LETTERS BETWEEN US is a requiem to friendship and an homage of remembrance, loss and liberation - about a troubled writer's search to understand a friend's mysterious death at a mental institution leading to her own self-discovery and transformation.

This film was shot between June and September 2016, after the Kumamoto earthquake. Japan is a country of buddhism and mythology, it is believed that there is a God in everything. This mostly derived from the Kyushu region, which until the 20th century was seen as Japan's gate to the world and a centre for trade. It has historically been the first stop for foreign traders and travelers in Japan and a place from which the outside influences would spread to the rest of the country. Time has moved on, but the landscapes and legends remain to this day. The Kumamoto earthquake has caused serious damage to the region. Many people have suffered physical and mental injuries and tourism has fallen drastically. The aim of this film is to disseminate the new appeal of the Kyushu region from a different perspective and to encourage the strength of its people to overcome their struggles. We invite you to start your own journey of discovery, following the routes of the Gods, myths and legends in Kyushu. #lettersfromthegods ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Director / Cameraman / Editor : Christoph Gelep Production Assistants : Ryuta Taniwaki, Haruka Akasaka, Yoshiyuki Sakuragi, Masami Miyai Production Coordinators : Masanori Inoue, Masaki Miyai, Rika Sato, Jinny Dhanasobhon Colorist : Masato Indo Drone Operators: Michito Tanaka, Kazuyoshi Yokoyama Music: Eve by Emancipator Sound Designer: Yasuhiro Nakashima Producer : Hidetaka Ino Production : augment5 Inc.
